Lesson 7 Challenge

How many times have you come across a 404 page? Have any favorites?

I haven't run across too many of these pages. The ones that I have come across are the basic 404 page can not be found. I find that the patrons or I will have written the wrong address. When I do come to one of these pages I will would try on a different browser or sometimes I will google the site to see if anyone is reporting problems.

I found this to be very interesting and something that I forget that we can look for other similar titles for books.  I have to try to use this more often.

Lesson 5 Challenge

I decide to try the Basic Math Tutorial.  I think I am going to take this course to refresh my memory on some the my basic math skills. I like that if offers you to take a pretest to see where you need to start in the course.  This course is great to help you to understand on how to solve a lot of the math skills. You can see right away where your weak points and what you are strong at. I am going to continue with this course just to keep me in tune. I was never good in math. Hopefully this will help me remember what I have learned many moons ago.

I can see this as being very helpful to patrons wanting to learn and preparing them for what they need.

Exercise 3: Part 2: Marketing Tools

Being a Children's librarian most of our flyers are already design by the children's department. But before we started using ThinkStock I would design my own in house flyers for programs I was doing. For my personal use I have made flyers for our church and I have design tickets for their fund raising dinners.  I have also designed brouchers for the church.

This is one of the flyers I am using to advertise Dia de los Ninos:

Lesson 2 Challenge


·         A customer comes up to you and says they think their Facebook account was hacked, but they’re not sure.

What would you do?

I would first of all let them know that I could only offer them some suggestions of what they might need to do. I would tell them that they might want to contact Facebook and let them know what they suspect. Another suggestion would be for them to change their password.  Once they are log in to Facebook to go and check on their settings and change whatever they might need to change.
